For kicks, he sent the body cam footage to DeVito, who forgot about it until stumbling upon the email last week.

"As soon as I saw it, I thought, I’d love for other people to see a positive ending for a change," she said of the footage from Sept. 22.

She posted the footage to the department's Facebook page, where it quickly found its way around the local community — and back to the groom, David Opegbemi, who shared a clip from the wedding itself.

The original video now has over 178,000 views on YouTube.

DeVito isn't surprised the moment connected with people.

"When both sides show each other respect and give each other the benefit of the doubt, usually good things are gonna happen," she said. "We’re just grateful we captured this one on camera so we can share it with everybody."
